Wisconsin writer C.J. Hribal explores post-World War II America through the activities of one family in his new novel, The Company Car. The story begins in 1952, with a couple getting married on It’s Your Wedding, a television show in Chicago. As the next fifty years unfold, they get taken for a ride by forces beyond their control. The patriarch is continually in search of safety and stability for his family, but neither protective parents nor small towns (part of the book is set in Augsbury, the fictional Wisconsin town where Hribal set previous novels like American Beauty) can block the machinations of a larger society experiencing great changes. 3225 W. 69th St., Edina; 952-920-0633
